Handicapp placard

[melodylogan45]

Do you prefer the placard that hangs on your rear view mirror or the one that can be put on your license plate. I use the one that hangs on my mirror so i can transfer it to another car, if i ride with someone that does not have one.

I would use the hanging one.

I do not have a handicapped tag.  Most of the people who have them do not truly need them.

If I had one it would be the one that hangs, I need one, though.

IF you had one?  You need one and don't have one? Can I ask why you need one?  I don't know how it is any where else but where I live there are tons of cars that have these and the driver clearly does not need them.  I even know a woman who had one (I do not know how she got it) but there was nothing wrong with her.

Things are messed up.  The people who need help can't get it and the ones who are just lazy can get things easily. Grrrr.

I have one that hangs but I have it laying on the dashboard b/c it is obstructing my view  don't be too judgmental some people have medical problems that don't show

The one I got for my mom was the hanging one because I could change vehicles and by being portable it worked better for me.

I would use the one that hangs on the rear view mirror because if you are in a different car you can just move the placard whenever you need to.

i prefer the placard as i can change it according to the vehicle i will be in

We don't have one, but  when we would be transporting hubbies aunt who at the time was 96 we used hers. because she could not walk  very  far, Most times we  took the wheelchair. But once in a while she would want to walk hanging on to him. But even then we always had the chair. Sometimes we  would have to go out to the car and get it . Always be prepared. But even then we needed the room to get it out of the car for her. And  to  just help her. So  for the most  part  we parked in the handicap. But the  a lot of the time after we had her out and in the chair we would move the van so someone else could use the space.

   I prefer the hanging one...because you can remove it, put in your purse when you go to the store.
   Some made the comment that people sometimes steal the license placards/plates...even if it is illegal.

If I had one, I would prefer the one that hangs, that way can use in any car I may be driving or a passenger.

Although it is true that some people have them and really don't need them, it is not true in the majority of the cases I know.  I know about 10-12 people who have a handicapped sticker and all of them have conditions that flare up at different times and make it difficult for them to be mobile.  Several have bad backs, several have sciatic conditions, and two were shot in Vietnam and have pain that comes and goes.  You can't rush to judgment!

My father has a handicap placard... for my mother, she has been dead for almost 18 years & they, the government of California, keep sending him the hanging handicap one.  He doesn't use it, but he puts it in his glove compartment just in case, at 83 he still hasn't used it.

California is an excellent example of too much government & lack of any oversight... why do they continue to send a handicap placard to someone that has been dead for almost 18 years. The same dead people who vote in the California elections probably, I should see if my mother has been voting for the past 18 years.

Thankfully I so far dont need a handicap sticker.  However to have one from a disabled person visiting you its best to have a hanging one.  We used mu pop in laws when he visited!
